Painless
Jumper Cables

Ok
everyone has had to use jumper cables at least once in there life,
most likely more than once a year! If not for yourself, then for
a friend on the trail. Well the fine people at Painless Performance
Products have just made your life a lot easier, with there Quick
Connect Battery Jumper/Charging System #40101. It is designed for
whenever a jump-start is needed, or frequently required. The product
has a 2-way,quick disconnect which is permanently attached to your
vehicle, and the quick disconnect jumper cables simply plug into
the receptacle. The kit comes with all you need;12' of #4 cable,
2 quick connect terminals, 2 500 amp jumper clamps, and 2 copper
battery post connectors. You do need to cut the cable and attach
the ends. I went to a local shop as you need a special crimper for
these heavy duty ends.

1st
thing is to locate a mounting point on your vehicle. I chose the
passenger side, same as the battery, at the end of the frame.
|
|
|
Then
measure and cut the cable, put on connectors, then connect the frame
end, then attach to the battery.

I
chose to run the cable inside a piece of rubber hose to keep it
protected from getting cut open due to the inner fenders being removed
from my trail rig. I used 4' of some 3/4" cheap washing machine
drain hose, and it was to small so I slit it all the way and popped
the hose in and used zip ties to hold it back together. Simple and
cheap.

I now have
a set of 8' cables, which seems to do the trick!
|
|
|
I
plan on getting another connector and wiring and putting an outlet
at the rear of the vehicle as well! This kit came well packaged
from the factory, was of high quality, and installed easily. This
kit sells for approximately $199.00.

classic trucks, cars, universal kits, and much more!
